Shameer Shah > Shearman & Sterling LLP > London, England > Lawyer Profile

In something of a state of flux following a number of high-profile departures, most notable of which was Korey Fevzi‘s exit to Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP in March 2023, Shearman & Sterling LLP‘s London office still maintains strong lender-side relationships and is well-positioned to advise on mid-to-upper-mid-market transactions in the leveraged finance field using financial products throughout the capital structure. As well as advising the firm’s core base of banking clients, the team also continues to grow its credit fund offering, with team head Sanjeev Dhuna particularly prominent in the sector. The ‘very credible’ Shameer Shah is also a key member of the team and ‘is able to articulate complex legal jargon in simple English’, particularly in the context of direct lending transactions.
